The Innis Writing Centre
The Innis Writing Centre can help you to improve your writing and editing skills, with free one-to-one instruction from experienced and supportive instructors. Housed within Innis College, it’s a valuable resource for help with writing assignments or graduate school applications. And you can access the Writing Centre for up to 12 appointments per term!
Shut Up and Write!
Need a jump-start to focus on writing for your assignment, screenplay, short story, blog, cover letter, or grant application? The Shut Up and Write series offers drop-in sessions for academic and creative writers within the U of T community to write without distractions in a communal setting. Sessions are held at the Innis College Library and the Gerstein Information Centre.
